A Study on Syrian Refugees’ Impact on Bursa's Textile Sector

The majority of Syrian refugees who forced to leave their country because of the internal war in Syria had find asylum in different countries, mostly in Turkey. Syrian refugees, who were conceived as “guests” when they first arrived and were expected to return to their countries soon, were given “temporary protection” status. Syrian refugees get an opportunity to work legally with the work permission regulation in 2016. However, studies have shown that refugees benefiting from this regulation constitute only a small proportion of the total refugee rates. In this study, the position of Syrian refugees in the textile sector and labor market in Bursa was investigated. In the scope of this study, interviews were conducted with 26 participants by using qualitative research method and the effects of refugees on Bursa’s textile sector were analyzed descriptively
